Opening Autumn 2025

Welcome to the Barn Owl

The Barn Owl has a long and eventful history, dating back to the late 17th century when it was known as the Golden Farmer, it also had a spell of being called 'the Cricketers'. The pub moved to its current location in the 1820s and changed its name to the Jolly Farmer in 1823. We decided a new start deserved a new name and the Barn Owl felt a perfect fit. We received the keys in July this year and are thrilled to be breathing life back into this beautiful pub, which had been closed for well over a year. We plan to be pouring pints by Christmas all being well and are currently looking for a team to help us do just that!

There will be lots of exciting job opportunities available, including management, chefs, front of house, cleaners and gardeners. Click below to register your interest or to apply for any role, please send over your CV to [email protected] and let us know what you’re looking for.

Be part of something great!

Whilst the team is busy renovating the pub and bringing it back to life, we’re on the lookout for crew members to come and join us in this exciting opportunity.

We have job vacancies from Head Chef to Kitchen Porter, Supervisor, Bar Staff, Waiter, Waitress, Cleaner, and so much more.

A selection of our job vacancies are available to view and apply for on our careers page now. Be sure to check back regularly as we add more jobs as we approach our opening date.


Love pubs? Like walking? Read on...

With the help of the AllTrails App, we are planning to create a circular walk from the pub and through the surrounding area, to help you work up that thirst/appetite. You will be able to view the walk details via a number of ways (varying levels of tech savviness required -Ed)
